FreeBSD 5.0-RC2 Now Available

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-download dept.

An anonymous reader writes "FreeBSD 5.0-RC2 has been uploaded to ftp-master and is showing up on most of the primary mirrors. ia32, ia64, pc98, and alpha images are available now; sparc64 will be pushed out once it becomes available. The plan going forward is to cut an RC3 in early January, followed by 5.0-RELEASE a week later."

    Wow, I never thought I would see a dupe on the main page of Slashdot with the original story. This is really incredible.

    I have to say, my desire to come to this site has been weakening of late, and shit like this makes just kills people's respect for Slashdot.

    Are there any other sites that provide similar news stories in a more professional manner? Are there any alternatives?

    Uggh, dam zealots ... BSD is having the same problem linux had ... the goofs running it ... Linux is way ahead of it's time cause of the corprate support, BSD is old skool. Don't get me wrong, but I know WAY more people running BSD that know FUCK all but there OS is "stable" and "secure" Linux can be secure and all that you just need to play with it ... Face it BSD sucks
